Fun Times!!! (We needed them! wink!!)

Playing Hookie from school!!

Collin's new medication has not been working and he has not been sleeping well at all. He has been in so much pain. So, Thursday when we woke up Regan and I decided that Bubba, Regan's name for Collin, should stay home and we should all go to Disney Land. I thought it was a great idea. It was beautiful and cloudy.. a perfect "Collin Day". We had a ton of fun!!!

FATHER SON CAMP OUT!!!

Fridaynight/ Saturday was our ward's father son camp out. Jason took Collin for the first time last year and it went... ok. With Collin not sleeping well Jason was worried that Collin would have a hard time BUT he was so looking forward to this camp out with him. Can I just say that Jason is the BEST dad ever!!! It is great for the two of them to have "normal" father son outings together. Luckily Collin did great! We decided to take him off the new medication that was just not doing it and put him on his old one that was OK. Jason only had to give him meds once or twice through out the night. Collin was even the last one to wake up!! Collin was so excited and you could just tell that he had a blast!!!

Jason woke up and found one of his young men sleeping using a block of wood as a pillow!!

Collin sleeping in!

Collin and his buddy Kyler. Kyler is the same age as Collin and he is such a wonderful friend to him!!!

PaPa came in the morning to help with breakfast and he ended up walking Collin around.... a TON!!

I am glad you guys got out and had a fun time, how long does it take you to get to Disneyland? The campout looked fun too, Caleb does care about things like that so he never goes, but Holden loves them. Tyler is also in the YM, he is with the boys at the temple right now, sure keeps him busy!

Okay, so I don't know you personally, but I do read your blog on occassion. I found your blog on Katie's and Luke's. The first time I saw it, I cried buckets because you guys are so awesome! I read it and never comment, but I have told my husband and sister about you. You are seriously a strong Mama, and I thought that I would tell you that on Mother's Day. I look at your blog sometimes, and feel so inadequate because of your strength. My trials are so small in comparison, and you seriously are one of my heros!!! Love, Kristi

About Me

I am the mother of two amazing children and have been married to my best friend for 12 years. I love photography and the moments that you can capture forever. We were told that our son would not live past his first birthday. My love for photographs took on an entirely new meaning when I did not think that we would have much time with our son. Almost eleven years later and our son is still with us and my appreciation for photography and capturing the good and the not so good is stronger than it has ever been.
